I guess you would probably expect a woman to answer this, but I hope my point of view will be able to help you out. Rights and responsiblities of men and women in Islam are divided so that they reach an equilibrium. An accusation often made against Muslims is that the Qur’an says Man has been made stronger than women, to be able to handle certain responsibilies. This is not discrimination, but a fact of nature, that man is physically stronger than a women, but the best of people is decided on faith and not whether they are a man or a woman. In regard to women in heaven, they are called Hurs, and believing women will be given Men, called Ghilman. So there is no difference in that. I suggest you check the links below, especially the second one; they should answer all your questions and show you the position of women in Islam. If you require any further information, you can always email me.

The way most Muslims look at that, it is not rushing but protection. I am 20 and got engaged in July 1999, and I hope to get married sometime the end of 2000. That wouldn’t exactly be rushing the engagement period, I suppose, but you would probably think I’m still rather young. True, but the way we look on it is that sexual desire is natural, and in many circumstances if it is not given into lawfully, it will be performed unlawfully, hence marriage legalizes a need and reduces the risk of the young fulfilling themselves unlawfully. In fact, a person getting married in Islam is said to have saved half of his faith. And basically that is the bottom line of marriages being encouraged at a young age.
